sF series®

Submersible, Solids-Handling Pumps

More than ever, we continue to update our factories, processes, research and development, and engineering to ensure that our pumps and systems are among the most reliable and efficient in the world.

While much of Gorman-Rupp’s reputation has been built on the success of our self-priming pumps, we have been producing high-quality, long-lasting submersible pumps since 1960.

The Sf Series® line of submersible pumps continues the tradition of excellence. Sf Series submersible solids-handling pumps optimize pumping efficiencies and include multiple features to help ease the maintenance process. Built to last, these pumps offer the versatility to be used in most applications that require a submersible pump with solids-handling capabilities.

Gorman-Rupp’s commitment to our original philosophy of innovation, continuous improvement, unparalleled quality and customer service continues to set us apart from others.

a history oF innoVation

Submersible Solids-Handling Pumps

optimal performanceGorman-Rupp Sf Series® pumps are designed and built using the latest technologies, resulting in a product that provides optimal performance.

All Sf Series pump models feature nEMA Premium Efficiency motors and wet end designs that minimize your energy utilization. Additionally, Sf Series vortex pumps provide industry-leading pumping efficiencies.

While energy consumption and pumping efficiency are critical in evaluating performance, these are not the only factors considered in the design of the Sf Series. A pump needs to consistently provide the required liquid movement in a variety of applications, so we also focused on designing a product that will provide long-lasting, reliable operation. While some competitors use gimmicks to “handle” solids, all Sf Series pumps pass a 3” spherical solid. The motors are press-fit into our patented finned motor housing, to provide superior cooling, and combined with standard Class h insulation result in increased motor life.

easy to maintainEventually, all mechanical equipment requires maintenance, whether it is preventative or repair. Gorman-Rupp has designed the Sf Series with this in mind.

Channel pumps incorporate externally-adjustable face clearances to quickly maintain optimal pumping efficiency.

All models include moisture and temperature sensors on each motor phase to minimize the risk of costly motor damage.

Most models’ terminal housing and cable assemblies are designed with color-coded, snap-together connections for easy in-the-field cable changes.

Built to the same exacting standards you’ve come to expect from Gorman-Rupp, SF Series® pumps are designed for easy maintenance and constructed for long life.

most models’ terminal housing and cable connections are specifically designed for

easy in-the-field cable replacements.

ConFiGured to your perFormanCe requirements

portable/Construction

Configuration

installed where you need itWhether your pump installation requires permanent, semi-permanent, or portable placement, Sf Series® pumps will fit the bill. All Sf Series pumps come standard with either

AnSi 125# or din flanges on both the suction and discharge sides, ready to fit up to your permanent pipe configuration or to match up to most

manufacturers’ guide shoes for replacement installation.

for semi-permanent slide rail installations, Gorman-Rupp offers

an easy-to-install base elbow. Guide shoes include a rubber seal that directs all flow into the discharge piping without relying on a flush metal-to-metal fit-up that can wear and allow leaks. All Sf Series guide rail systems use 2” rail as standard, maintaining consistency when used in multiple stations.

When portability is required, Sf Series pumps can be attached to a rugged stand that maintains clearances for solids passage. in addition, we offer an optional tight-radius flanged elbow for easy connection to discharge hose or piping.

agency approvals Most Sf Series pump models are available with CSA C-US approval for standard locations and fM and CSA C-US approval for hazardous (Class i, division 1, Groups C & d) locations.
